Codex Alexandrinus (four volumes in one) with bookmarks and high resolution images.
Codex Alexandrinus is a fifth century manuscript of the Greek Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Clementine Epistles on parchment. Images are from the 1879–1883 and 1909 full-sized black and white facsimiles produced by the British Museum.
This pdf is a result of my disappointment with the image resolution of the previous documents that I could find on the net.
Images were gleaned from Center for Study of New Testament Manuscripts (https://www.csntm.org/).

A 1799 New Testament edition had an unusual font.

Novum Testamentum Graecum e codice ms. Alexandrino / descriptum a Carolo Godofredo Woide. Londini, 1799
The beginning of Matthew:

  • Simonide's only said/wrote (according to the limited information that Steven Avery has provided me) that an unspecified edition of the Codex Alexandrinus was printed with "uncial letters".

Here is Carl Gottfried Woide's (1725-1790) Luke 11:2 in his 1786 New Testament edition:

Which was a good representation of the Alexandrinus manuscript.
The pic comes out of an article by John H. Bowman in 1998.

The Codex Alexandrinus and the Alexandrian Greek Types (1998)

And Baber used these type-faces in his editions that were around 1820, which, unlike Woide, included OT and NT.

So my conclusion is that Simonides was likely referring to the Henry Hervey Baber (1775-1869) editions.

Baber needs to be added to this title of this comparison, at least in terms of what was available at Mt. Athos.

McGrane
(c) it is the only Great Uncial that has anything like a complete OT, and (d) it was the only such that was in facsimile, a superb facsimile in 4 volumes having been produced by Baber over the period 1816-28. This means that if St Panteleimon were to have a facsimile of a Great Uncial OT to consult (as per Simonides' story) there was a choice of one only. It could not have been anything else other than Alexandrinus.
